The 2010 championship calendar has been agreed and it sees a fair blend of new races, familiar races and the return of a few old favourites. The list was compiled by the committee using the suggestions from the club and Martin Huddleston has licked it into shape – I think it’s safe to say that there is something for everyone in here.

A great blend of distances and something for the road and trail fans. Races were selected because of their popularity, cost, accessibility and scheduling.
The WAVA & GP championships are retained for 2010 but adjusted so that your best eight scores will count towards your final score. Not all of the races have had their dates confirmed yet but we’ll update you all as soon as we know. Links to online entry and old-fashioned entry forms (how quaint! – what will these races do when cheques are made obsolete? ) will be available on the website as soon as we have the information.
I wish everyone that takes to the open air in a Stadium Runners vest the very best of luck! Have a great season.
